Exercise in the community
Action for Elders pioneered some of the earliest Community Groups throughout the UK. Our Balanced Lives programmes have successfully offered many older people the chance to get fitter, stronger and healthier in a friendly, social environment.
During Covid, we have had to pause our groups, but these will start up again as soon as it is safe to do so.
